Resolution Approving Use of State of California Office of Traffic
Safety Grant Funds in the Amount of $262,400 for Selective Traffic
Enforcement Program from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011 (PD)
<br>
Explanation: See enclosed material. Staff Report <br>
Recommend adoption of Resolution. Resolution <br>
<br>
From MPJC <br>
Are Checkpoints intrusive and an ineffective waste of taxpayer money?
Saturation patrols are considered more effective, less costly. Why are
we still going after tax payer money via federal grants to harass
residents when other more effective tools are available to our police
for combating DUI infractions? <br>
San Rafael City has a proposal for
an additional Office of Traffic Safety Grant for DUI/DL Checkpoints on
the Agenda for the City Council Meeting. Come and be heard. Say no to
ineffective checkpoints. Does the city have policy for alcohol on city
property? How sincere are they when combating alcohol abuse in our
communities? <br>
